prepping for the pre op diet.- Canadians I need your help



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I'm starting to gather my stuff to make it through the pre-op diet... Which is why I need canadians to help me out as our products are a bit different than the USA :) However any bits of info and help are completely welcome.

Ok

I need the low calorie Protein shake.... and of course it has to have less than 6 grams of sugar and be low in carbs as well. My flavour of choice is vanilla or strawberry so any brand names and where you got it would be such a big help.

OK -my question for post-op.... liquid Protein. What do you like/ what was terrible, where did you get it.

Just incase you think I'm being lazy - I have 3 kids and am looking after my in-laws - they live with me... so it's really hard to get out on a fact finding mission.. I really appreciate any help that is thrown my way.

Thanks so much everyone.

For my Pre op diet I used the Adkins shakes they are Pre made so you can just grab one, They only have 6g of carbs, I get them at Walmart or a grocery store usually near the Vitamins. They really are not bad I am particular to the chocolates. For clear Protein I have ordered some mix able type drinks from Baratric Choice the drinks are called Proti. The website has tons of stuff just have a look around. Good luck with everything! Smiles!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
